Conceived back in 1983 as a response to the scarcity of contemporary art museums in Peru at the time, Micromuseo in Lima, defines itself as an open space for the development of citizenship and critical culture. The museum hopes to foster a kind of museality which is both mestizo as well as unrestricted, and which doesn’t as much suppress as encourage the productive differences which constitute this project as one of a budding community.
Micromuseo has brought together multiple energies from curators, museographers, cultural activists and creators from different origins. The curators (among them Gustavo Buntinx and Susana Torres Márquez) regularly collaborate with other local spaces, like the Transvestite Museum of Peru, LIMAC (Contemporary Art Museum of Lima) and the Neo-Inca Museum.
